  • 4/5 yi yang (. 3 years ago on Google • 379 reviews
    It's located one street behind the main street. I happened to be walking around the back of the store when I was approached and entered the store. 2000 yen for 40 minutes and includes one drink. It's basically a store for foreigners. It's sad that there are only 5 people in the audience at this time of year 😞 However, it is a very good store. At first, I thought the entrance fee would be high, but I was satisfied with the content. I felt that more Japanese people should go there and preserve their traditional culture. There are fewer geisha now...and they are suffering even more from the coronavirus. It wasn't just the dancing, it was really interesting to see the types of zashiki games, experiences, and the question corner. Next time I stay in Hakone Yumoto, I would like to invite a geisha to see her.

    Nice and fun experience. We attended the show, which largely interacts with the audience, so we could say that we "participated" in the show. We had fun, but it was still an interesting experience to get closer to the world of Geishas. The show takes place in a room on the ground floor, so it is accessible to all disabled people in wheelchairs. It opens a few days a month so if you happen to find it open go there.

    Highly recommended! We thought it was just going to be a drinking party, but to our pleasant surprise we were treated to a private performance of live music and dance! We also enjoyed talking to our geisha, who spoke very good English. Our half hour slot flew by. We would love to do it again!

    It is a space where you can experience things that are hard to experience these days. In addition to the participants, there were also regulars and people who were knowledgeable about the world of geisha, so it was an interesting time. thank you

    In my life, I have never had a banquet where I invited a geisha. It was fun to hear the behind-the-scenes stories of the geishas. ^_^

    I looked at the tourist information and made a reservation. I was able to experience geisha culture even though I didn't live the elegant life of a real geisha, and the geishas who came showed me some very nice dances. I was also able to experience playing as a geisha, which was very satisfying. However, when I entered, there were not many people in the audience, and I was seated in the very front, so I was able to talk and play with the geishas a lot, but when the audience was full, there was enough time for everyone to experience it. It seems unlikely. Geishas are good at talking to various people, but there may be a difference. I've never played in a real ozashiki so I can't really compare, but I still think the cost performance is very good.

    I didn't know there were geishas in Hakone! It's great to be able to actually talk to a geisha and play in a tatami room! The dancing gave me goosebumps. Especially in the male dance, the beautiful geishas were so cool and mesmerizing ><!!
